The tribe that owns the casino, the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes, has been struggling to make ends meet since the closure. They have been trying to get federal assistance, but so far nothing has come through. The tribe has also been in talks with the state of Idaho about opening up a new casino, but those talks have not gone anywhere. So for now, the Fort Hall Casino is still closed.
